Thursday, Dec. 8, 1966 — Dan C. Montgomery, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Montgomery, talked with his parents recently from Pago Pago, American Samoa, over a shortwave radio and telephone hookup, during the past six months.

The conversation was made possible by radio contact between Samoa and Las Cruces, where the university’s short-wave station tied the communication into the telephone lines.

Colorado State-Pueblo’s women’s basketball team, ranked 11th in the country, gave a little demonstration as to why on Tuesday evening at the Wilson Complex.

The ThunderWolves (9-0 overall, 3-0 RMAC) stormed to a 23-6 advantage after 12 minutes, a 40-15 bulge at halftime and a 64-24 cushion through three quarters en route to a 73-48 rout of host New Mexico Highlands (2-4, 1-2).

That effort — which included 18 points in the third quarter alone — helped Pecos defeat Mora 95-74 and break the Rangers’ four-game winning streak in one of northern New Mexico basketball’s longest running rivalries.

The game was tied 12-12 after one quarter and it was a slender 33-30 Pecos lead at intermission.
